You should consult a sail loft for the best repair. A dealer could get you some scrap red cloth if needed. Sail tape or a glue to keeps fibers from unraveling would work.

The Tear Aid shown on page 37 of the current parts catalog would work. Use type A.

(Do not apply Type A to vinyl). If the top layer of the product you are repairing is any of the listed materials you will use Type A.
